VS 2005 and VS 2003 Compatability

I have VS 2003 and 2005 B2 installed on my system. When I try to use ASP.Net in 2003 I recieve a error message (URL:http://localhost/somename, "HTTP/1.1.500 Internal Server Error) It had worked before but now has stopped. I understand that 2003 + 2005 can function side by side. VS 2005 functions without a problem but I am more versed in VS 2003. Can any one help me figure this problem out so that I can use both versions.

    The VS 2005 setup defaults the IIS ASP settings to ASP.NET 2.0 instead of ASP.NET 1.1, you can change this in the ASP.NET tab settings for the web application in the Internet Information Services control panel applet.

    Right click on the web app and select "Properties". Next click on the ASP.NET tab at the far right. You can then choose the version your app uses in the first combobox.

    Hope this helps!

    I'm sorry that no one has responded to you over this long of time. Have you since resolved the problem and tried the final release bits
